SOBRDRIVE is voluntary DUI prevention for people who want to make sure they never drive impaired. Pair with your SOBRDRIVE module by Bluetooth, take a quick BAC test, and start your vehicle knowing you're under your own limit. No court, no monitoring agency, no reporting. Just you and your decision to get home safe. PANIC 2.0 When something goes wrong, one tap or a shake of your phone sends help. Your Heroes (up to five trusted contacts) get a text the instant you trigger it, with a live map link that keeps updating until you end the alert. They can tell you they've seen it, that they're on the way, or that they've called 911, and you see their responses on your screen. The alert can only be ended with your PIN, so it stays live even if someone takes your phone. A short video from your rear camera follows as a second text. BAC MONITORING Self-test with the SOBRDRIVE breathalyzer, see your result instantly, and keep a private history of your tests. SOBER ON START Set your own limit. A passing test unlocks your vehicle for a short window, then SOBRDRIVE re-locks automatically. Parents can set limits for teen drivers and see their history from the SOBRDRIVE portal. HEROES Add up to five people you trust. They're the ones who hear from you when PANIC fires. SOBRDRIVE is built by Driven By Safety, Inc., holder of multiple U.S. patents on Bluetooth-based voluntary DUI prevention. Requires the SOBRDRIVE module and breathalyzer, available at www.sobrdrive.com
